Simulated Strength
Give me something stronger than me ‘cause I can’t bear to watch you leave.
The drug or the drink, it doesn’t matter what devil.
I need anything that won’t let me think.
All my thoughts are of you and what I put you through.
I know I hurt you, but it’s killing me,
And I’m too ashamed to face you and say, I’m sorry.
I’ll drown my sorrows, dreading tomorrows that scream of yesterday.
There’s a constant reminder when I see you with her.
I know I’m to blame, and I don’t know if I can live with the pain.
Even sunsets are gray. It’s a battle everyday.
A war between hanging on and letting go.
I don’t think I’ve ever been this low.
So give me something stronger than me,
‘Cause I don’t want to feel me bleed.
The drug or the drink, it doesn’t matter what devil.
I’m sick of treading water, so I’ll sink.
All my thoughts are of you and what I put you through.
I know I hurt you, but it’s killing me,
I’m so sorry.
I can no longer see the light at the end of this infinite tunnel,
The sun’s so dull it could be night,
And I’m too ashamed to make this right,
So give me something stronger than me so I don’t have to face myself.
Give me something to forget that I’m living in regret,
That I dug my grave one shovel at a time,
Something to erase the fact you won’t be mine.
I’m on my knees,
Give me something stronger than me.
